Amcor has again been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI): Australia Index (DJSI Australia), recognised for its commitment to environmental, social and governance sustainability performance.

Amcor ranked within the top 12 per cent of the packaging and containers industry, reaffirming its leadership position in the sector.

“This recognition is particularly meaningful to us – not only because it happens in the country in which we were founded 165 years ago, but also because it highlights our progress in providing responsible packaging that benefits both our customers and the Earth,” said Tracey Whitehead, Amcor’s global head of investor relations.

“We remain steadfast in driving innovative change and revolutionizing product design across a wide range of materials to deliver more sustainable packaging solutions for our customers.”

The DJSI were launched in 1999 as the first series of global sustainability benchmarks available in the market. The index family includes global, regional and country indices.

The DJSI are float-adjusted, market-capitalization-weighted indices that measure the performance of companies selected using environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.

In an effort to shape a circular society where sustainable consumption and recycling become the norm, Amcor strives to advance its leadership in innovation and sustainability through partnerships and strategic investments across the value chain.
